January Update

Hóla,

This update is a little later than usual. It appears that the original newsletter I thought I had sent a few days ago went out into computer never never land.

There were a few tourists in town over the holidays with the cruise ships and the bus tours. Most government agencies, schools etc. were closed and most should be back to their regular schedule by the 15th.

The government buildings all had very nice Christmas decorations this year.

For those of you that have property here it is time to pay the property taxes.

Construction is moving along on the commercial building across from Soriana’s at Plaza La Paz. The One Price store is open already. The home developers are back to work after the holidays and there are a couple new locations that will have gated secure areas. One is about a block from the water. (No View of the bay) There are five lots remaining and the home plans run from about $150,000 to $180,000. The same developer is building 10 homes in a prestige area. These will be in a secure area also.

We finally have home loans available here for American buyers that have good credit. If interested in home loans let me know and I will put you in contact with the loan department.

Check out the rest of the web site for information and links to information about buying property and living in Mexico. On the LINKS page click onto the Baja Insider link for a lot of info about the La Paz and Cabo area of Baja California Sur.

That is about all the news for this month. We should have more activities to report on next month now that the holidays are behind us.

Regards,

Gordon

Hola

We have had a few more tourists here this last month. Also the cruisers are here from the Baja HA-HA. Unfortunately one of the boats that was arriving at night ended up on the rocks. It was destroyed and had to be salvaged the remains were hauled away. The crew was not injured.

More people are coming here looking for large parcels of land for
investment. The speculators are planning on future areas for development
around the La Paz area.

Lots of activity around with the businesses and the government putting up
Christmas decorations. Of course the stores have been full of Christmas
merchandise for some time.

The Applebee’s restaurant is almost ready to open. Construction is moving
along rapidly on the new shopping complex across the street South of
Soriana’s and the Plaza La Paz.

Construction is also progressins well at a couple of the housing
developments. Bay view condos should be available early next spring. Phase II at Privada La Posada will start in January.

Road construction is progressing on El Mogote for the Paraiso Del Mar
development. Log on to their site on my web site to see what is available.

For someone that would like a small 2 bedroom 1 bath home near the
university and only a few minutes from Plaza La Paz, I have one available at
$30,000 USD. Also available is a small corner lot with a bodega (storage
building). It is located near a major street and a hospital. $200,000
Pesos ( a little less than $20,000 USD)
Soon to be available a large home in a good area. Needs the finishing
touches. Will be priced around $170,000 USD. Ten new homes being built in same area priced from $150,00 to $180,000 USD

For information about buying property and living in Mexico be sure to check out the rest of the web site and Bajainsider on the LINKS page.

Enjoy the holidays. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
